31 - 42 Match up the organ system with its function
31. Circulatory / a. movement, protection, shape, support, storage of minerals and produces blood cells32. Respiratory / b. protects body from infection
33. Digestive / c. breaks down food and absorbs nutrients
34. Nervous / d. detects changes outside and inside your body and controls the way your body responds to these changes
35. Skeletal / e. males – sperm production; females – eggs
36. Muscular / f. transports oxygen and nutrients to cells and carries wastes away from cells
37. Endocrine / g. removes wastes from the body and helps maintain homeostasis
38. Integumentary / h. movement, posture, and production of heat
39. Immune / i. moves oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body
40. Lymphatic / j. forms protective barrier around body, prevents water loss, controls body temperature, and gathers information about your surroundings
41. Reproductive / k. produces chemical messengers called hormones; some hormones help to maintain homeostasis while others control development and growth
42. Excretory / l. takes fluid from the spaces between cells and returns it to the circulatory system; filters bacteria and other microorganisms from this fluid
